FRITZ REDLICH, M.D. Joshua Lederberg, President The Rockefeller University 1230 York Avenue New York, NY 10021 Dear Joshua: Thank you for your letter of February 26. I will take up your interest in strengthening basic and clinical research in psychiatric disease at the next FFRP Board meeting which takes place in early May. Some of our Board members might also have some advice about specific people, I am sure you are thinking of David Hamburg. Have you considered Daniel X. Freedman? What about the very good people in Kety's shop such as Baldes- sarini and Matthysse? Men who have impressed me are Erich Kandel and Arnold Mandell. I'11 get back to you about this soon. Herta and I will be very happy to see you when we are in New York. My best to both of you, Cordially, Tih. J Fritz Redlich
